I checked off pretty much every mood option storygraph had available. It’s a slice of this poor boy’s life and its joyful, inspiring, devastating, sad, and beautiful again. It’s the peaks and troughs of mental illness, both what you can relate to and understand. I do want to think about this book and imagine he’s happy somewhere. I know he is.

There's a film version of this where Emma Watson can't keep a convicing American accent through the whole thing, it's quite embarrassing. The book is good though.
